In depth

Verdict

Pitcher's Point and Dublin Pharaoh both won novice events at Lingfield in the spring but neither has raced since and they are making their debuts on Turf. AMIR KABIR has only won on Tapeta so far but he battled all the way to the line when just beaten in a blanket finish at Sandown last month and is only a couple of pounds higher here. Rosa Gold goes for the four-timer but she’s been doing all of her winning in lower grades. Alfred Boucher, on the other hand, is eased in grade and can’t be left out of calculations while Image Of The Moon has only found one too good the last twice. Balgair is on a decent mark but is proving hard to place this season.
